The Remotion Recorder is a video production tool built entirely in JavaScript.
Different platforms require different formats
Each platform has its own conventions for how videos should look.
 | ||
| Twitter, LinkedIn 1:1 Muted by default Captions burned in | YouTube 16:9 Audio by default Captions as .srt file planned Endcard with related videos | TikTok, Reels, Shorts planned 9:16 Safe space at bottom required Word-by-word captions |
The goal of the Recorder: Edit once and feel native on each platform.
Captions are essential
Generate captions locally using Whisper.cpp. The Recorder will automatically install it for you.
AI will make mistakes - so we make it easy to correct them.
| Captions have word-level timings | Orphan words are avoided by balancing the text layout | Use `backticks` to highlight technical terms |
| Fix captions quickly by clicking on a word |  Write a JavaScript function to fix common misspellings |  Captions are stored as editable JSON |
Agnostic endcards
Your viewer watched the entire video! Now don't make them forget about you.
|  If you post on YouTube, the call to action is "Subscribe" and cutouts for related videos are made. |
The endcard is written with React and CSS, so can be easily customized.
Custom styling
Having access to the entire source code, you can use CSS to customize the look of the Recorder.
 Look of the built-in light theme |  Look of the built-in dark theme |  Use CSS to make it your own! |
Recording
Record your facecam and screen in sync but independently, so you can change the layout later.
See if you are too loud or off-center.
Silence removal
Automatically remove the silence at the start and end of your take.
Music
Add background music to your video and automatically fade between the different sections.
Three exclusive tracks are included that you may use for your video.
Layouting
Whether you only record your facecam, or also your display, the Recorder always finds the ideal layout - even if you mix landscape and portrait videos.
Transitions
Enable clean transitions between scenes - no matter if you change the layout during the video.
Chapters
Mark a scene as the beginning of a new chapter and automatically generated animated chapters.
B-Roll
Add images and videos on top of your facecam or display while your voiceover is playing to give the video more depth.
Exporting
Export your video with much control over the encoding options.
Render a video with a single click on a button, the CLI, Node.JS APIs, GitHub Actions, or even on AWS Lambda!
Customization
The Remotion Recorder ships source code.
You can customize it to your liking if you have TypeScript and React knowledge.
1) YouTube videos currently have their subtitles burned in, but we plan to add support for exporting a .srt file.
2) 9:16 format is not yet supported.
